User access levels, sometimes called user rights, define what a particular user can do on the wiki. By far the most useful kind of user rights are those granted to users. There is a mistaken belief that administrators are "better" than users. In fact, there's very little that a user can't do. Admin powers are more subtractive than additive, more about deleting than creating, less about being creative than cleaning up.
Although we currently have one user who has been granted rollback rights only, a bureaucrat decision was taken in 2011 to eliminate that level on this wiki for the foreseeable future. The substance of that policy formulation can be found on the talk pages of BroadcastCorp and CzechOut.
If you're looking to become an admin, please see user rights and user rights nominations. Understand, however, that admin rights are granted only in exceptional cases. Unless you have a proven admin record on another site, you should probably not even submit an application unless you've been an active editor here for at least a year.
